NEW NationalHCAW Leaflet

I've created a new NationalHCAW leaflet, designed to promote National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

The front cover promote the dates for the national week which falls between the 2nd to 3rd Saturday in October each year.

The second page outlines how 17-24-30 NationalHCAW was started in March 2009 to mark the 10th anniversary of the London Nail Bomb Attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane ans Soho. How we organised the London Vigils Against Hate Crime after the death of Ian Baynham, and how these vigils evolved into National Hate Crime Awareness Week in 2012.

It includes our H.O.P.E. campaign.

Two pages list ideas suggesting ways to support NationalHCAW, and the back page promotes Hate Crime Reporting including the ReportHate Linktree profile which promotes hate crime reporting sites across the UK.

The leaflet can be downloaded from our national website.

WHY ME? Economic Evaluation of Restorative Justice Project - Online Report Launch

Why me? are holding a free, virtual event for the launch of the report from our Economic Evaluation of Restorative Justice project on Thursday 29th September (2pm - 4pm).

In this project, we have conducted a rigorous evaluation of the costs and benefits of Restorative Justice. The research is targeted at informing national and local decision-making around the funding and implementation of Restorative Justice. The project will culminate in a published report of our findings, a summary of which will be presented during the event.

This event will consist of two sessions. In the first session Frank Grimsey Jones, who is the economist leading the project, will deliver a high level presentation on the methods and results of our research. In the second session there will be a panel discussion with reflections on the research, including the implications for decision making and for future research. The panel will include:

Lucy Jaffé, Director of Why me? (chair)
Lisa Allam, Commissioning and Contracts Manager at Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight
Jon Franklin, Chief Economist at Pro Bono Economics
Professor Joanna Shapland, Edward Bramley Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Sheffield
Frank Grimsey Jones, economist seconded to Why me?

This event will provide a great opportunity to understand how this research contributes to the Restorative Justice evidence base, and the implications for decision making. We expect this event to be well-attended with key stakeholders and influencers in the criminal justice and Restorative Justice sector.

NationalHCAW evolved out of the London Vigils Against Hate Crime

This year we are running a social media campaign to remind people that the national week evolved out of the London Vigils against Hate Crime (2009-2012), that took place after Ian Baynham died - after being homophobicly abused and beaten in Trafalgar Square (2009).
